Eyewitnesses said the airstrikes targeted “a group of civilians” traveling in al-Zeitoun, killing Abdulmajeed Ghazi Shaheen, 21, and injuring one other man, unnamed. Both were taken to al-Shifa’ hospital in Gaza City, according to Adham Abu Salmiya, an emergency services spokesman.

Overnight airstrikes have injured 10 other Palestinians in the same region since Wednesday. The areas targeted have included the Martyrs’ Graveyard in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip and agricultural land around the al-Ghazi refugee camp.

According to Reuters, the Israeli military did not have a comment about the airstrike. YNetNews quoted an Israeli military official as saying the army had nothing to do with the explosion. The incident comes after Gaza-based militants fired homemade Qassam rockets into the Negev desert, for which the armed wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility.
